title: Mitochondrial genome of Protobothrops xiangchengsis (Squamata: Viperidae: Crotalinae).
abstract: Protobothrops xiangchengsis is the endangered snake which is only distributed in China. We determined the complete mitochondrial genome of P. xiangchengsis (HB-px20100722). The circle genome with the 17,240 bp total length contained 13 protein-coding genes, 22 transfer RNA genes, 2 ribosomal RNA genes and 2 control regions. Overall base composition of the complete mtDNA was 33.16% A, 25.16% T, 29.17% C and 12.51% G. All the genes in P. xiangchengsis were distributed on the H-strand, except for the ND6 subunit gene and eight tRNA genes which were encoded on the L-strand.
